Alleanza

Alleanza is the Italian term used for an alliance in proper names. In general usage, the common noun for alliance is alleanza, used to describe formal agreements or collaborations between parties, groups, or individuals. The capitalization in Alleanza reflects its use as a name rather than a description in many cases.

In Italian politics, the word appears in the names of several political entities. The best-known example is Alleanza Nazionale (National Alliance), a conservative party formed in 1995 by Gianfranco Fini that played a major role in Italy's political landscape, later merging into The People of Freedom in 2009.

Outside politics, Alleanza is used in the names of federations, trade unions, and activist or cultural groups that emphasize joint action or cooperative goals. It can also function as a descriptive label for partnerships between organizations, municipalities, or companies.

The term also shows up in historical or biographical contexts to describe alliances between states, cities, or other political entities. As a concept, alleanza remains central to discussions of cooperation, diplomacy, and coalition-building in Italian-language discourse.
